Giovanni  Monti

​Giovanni Monti has a wealth of musical experience.
His performing activities are centred around composing and conducting.  He is the conductor of the polyphonic choirs Lumina Vocis (Cori) and Vox Libera (Nettuno) and the youth choirs Alchemicanto (Nettuno) and Always Young (Nettuno), and has worked with many of the top names in Italian music and theatre.
His success with these choirs has been publically recognised with awards gained at the International Competition of Choir Music held in Chieti, Italy:   First Prize Winner in June 2017 in the Pop/Gospel category with Alchemicanto;  First Prize in Polyphonic Music  in June 2014 with Lumina Vocis; and  Best Conductor in June 2012.
​
In addition he has successfully published musical scores and CD’s, featuring both choirs and musicians:

Furthermore he has assisted in the musical direction and arrangement of several musicals in Italy as well as conducting the orchestra and participating as a pianist on the stage:

His talent as a composer is clearly seen in the original music which he has written for theatrical productions in Italy:

  • ORFEO E EURIDICE – by Rocco Familiari, starring Barbara Amodio and Gian Luigi Pizzetti
  • CAFFE’ LA LUNA – Director Anita Bucchi

  • D’ANNUNZIO E LA MUSICA DEL SUO TEMPO – Director Walter Maestosi
  • FRANCESCO PETRARCA E LA VOCE DELLA SUA POESIA – Director Walter Maestosi
  • TSCHAIKOVSKY – Director Harris Freedman
Giovanni’s success is the direct result of his lifelong passion for music, and his commitment to study and self improvement.   After graduating in pianoforte (M° Enzo Stanzani), choir music, conducting and composition (M° Alberto Meoli) from the Rome Conservatoire, he attended the Accademia Chigiana in Siena studying film scores with Luis Bacalov and Nicola Piovani.   Following this, he studied orchestra conducting with M° Nicola Samale at Accademia Chénier, Foggia, and M° Claudio Dall’Albero at S. Cecilia Conservatoire, Rome, achieving a second class academic degree in June 2017.   He has further widened his experience with a Feniarco course in vocals, pop, and jazz arrangement and composition (M° Philipp Lawson), and, by attending the Hungarian Academy in Rome, has familiarised himself with the Kodaly Method (M° Andrea B. Horvàth and M° Norbert Làsziò Nemes).

Having achieved success in his native Italy, he is now concentrating on spreading the rich polyphonic Italian tradition internationally, using modern language that appeals to everyone.
